The Brunswick River (/ˈbrʌnzwɪk/) is a river in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, running through Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads.
The north arm (Marshalls Creek) runs through Ocean Shores, Billinudgel, Ocean Shores North and The Pocket. Marshalls Creek also connects to a canal in Ocean Shores North and South Golden Beach. The south arm (Simpsons Creek) runs through Brunswick Heads, Bayside and Tyagarah.
There is a lake at Tyagrah where the local Ti trees give the lake water a brown tint. This lake becomes a popular swimming hole in the summer months and is used by naturists who come down from Tyagrah Beach. The naturist area is only about 15 km before you get to Byron Bay.
Famous quotes containing the words river and/or south:
“You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,
Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
From river to river you comb the town
For a place to lay your family down.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
